7th January 2007, 4 Night Wonder Cruise

[mandymouse]

Aw Robin ~ I hope you are feeling a lot better soon. Glad you liked the photos, I've never seen so many photopass photographers around the Parks than this trip, so we were happy to have loads taken

Is anyone doing anything nice this weekend ? We've got nothing planned. Sue, I hope the wedding goes well and that you all have a lovely day, will 'The Sisters' be the entertainment at the reception ?

Kelly- I bet Chad is feeling proud! He should be!! He is great at soccer!! Greg has to meet a client about a mosaic on Sat., but maybe we can work it out so we can make it to the game. He is working in Va Beach today. He is happy because his dad just happens to be in Va Beach so they are meeting up tonight. He hasn't seen his father in a long time because his dad was too sick to see him during the holidays.

Wendy- I wish we had a chance to meet up on the cruise. My husband, Greg said he finally got to meet you when he was dropping Jacob off at the club the last night. I am sorry to hear your husband isn't feeling well.

Sue - Kelly has given me directions on how to get to the TK's, so I will definitely check it out. Thanks for inviting me. Have a fun and safe trip to the wedding.

Robin - I am sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope you get well soon.

Mandy-I was so disappointed I didn't get a really good tasting Bahama Mama while I was on the cruise. I asked for one at Triton's, but it tasted more like the Sting Ray's they were serving. I thought Bahama Mama's usually came decorated in layers of colors and a bit sweet, but I guess it varies. (I thought you might be the one to ask? ) My first cruise, I had my first Bahama Mama at the bar on the on deck 9 and I suddenly had a new favorite mix drink.

Have a great day everyone

Enjoy your lunch Kelly.

What did you have? Something good?

Enquiring minds want to know

It wasn't too tasty. Just a 6 pc. McNugget and an ice tea

Mandy, I didn't get the email. I think I've given you the wrong address, I'll pm you with it again! My mind is so fried from too much fun last week

Paula, I'll pass it along to Chad. He's games run thru February too. Don't try to do VaBeach & Salisbury in one day I'm now dropping him off to the high school for JV soccer. I teared up alittle when he was walking thru the side door to the cafeteria for practice yesterday Glad Greg gets to see his dad, especially since he didn't get to see him at Christmas!

DAY 2/Sunday, January 7th: Part 2

The boarding process begins! Yippeeeee!! It’s going by quickly! We get our pic taken before stepping on the ship, then they request our family name so they can welcome us. I had been thinking about giving a famous last name like Jolie/Pitt to see if anyone’s head turns. But, ALAS… I wimp out and spit out th name Savage. I really didn’t care, I still felt like a star. I threw my hands up in the air and yelled “I’m back, I’m back… hi everyone”. To my surprise, security left me alone!

We kill time until 1:30 p.m. then head to the room to check for luggage. Almost every piece was there. Off to Diversions we went, to meet all of the posters on the Disboards. It still truly amazes me to how well we clicked, and how much we were all alike. Robin caught a perfect moment on film, just how much I talk… look at the bored faces

We rush back to the room for the emergency drill. Jimmy kept screaming like a girl when the CM’s tried to pump up our spirits. It was really hot and crowded with the life vests on, but Jimmy had us laughing hard.

Back to the room to put up our vests and off to the sailaway party! It was terrific, we danced and I tried a drink… still couldn’t tell you what it was. For the life of me after 4 tries, I still could not understand the lady… she was very nice though!

After the party, we rushed back to our room to get ready for dinner at Parrot Cay. If I remember right, I had maple-glazed salmon that nite. YUMMY!! After my delicious meal, DH & I took a stroll on deck 4 then toured mom and dad’s cat 3 room. What a gorgeous stateroom, I really need to start saving for that one!

We slipped into the WD Theatre to catch Taylor Mason’s comedy routine with the puppets, he was hilarious. Later at Wavebands, we hurried to catch his routine again for the adults… we were late… and he pointed that out to everyone… but still he was funny!

Now comes the real fun… time to boogie down at Wavebands. The Dancing Queens met up for the first nite. We danced, won some prizes, and sang away the nite. After a few sandal mishaps, I decided to turn in; no fun dancing in flip flops.

Hey Paula

How are you ? I think I may have had your share of the Bahama Mamas as well as my own last week As Captain Jack Sparrow once said 'Why is the rum always gone ??' well it's because it's in my Bahama Mamas

I think you should re-book another cruise, just so you can taste a good one (then let us know what date you're sailing )

Another great installment Kelly, I can honestly say that I wasn't bored, I was just really concentrating on what you were saying and trying to remember that to us :-

fries are chips
chips are crisps
jello is jelly
jelly is jam and that
pants are trousers



I look forward to reading some more

Of course not Kelly, I borrowed it from Betsy

 

[disallday!]

OMG... I never thought about that!

I've got to get a book to see how different things are. I would probably be so lost over in the UK and confuse everyone.

I would love to visit that area one day!!! Just have to talk CW into flying, don't know of any boats heading in that direction alone

 

[Cruisin]

Kelly, iced tea has to be the grossest thing I've ever tasted

I'm enjoying your trip report Kelly and I know that I was never ever bored when you were around

Hey guys, don't worry about me. I don't really feel all that bad (in between visits to the bathroom that is ) Most of the time I feel okay. It sure hasn't dampened my appetite

 

[disallday!]

I ended up turning back into a sodaholic after the trip I was doing so good too!

Hey Robin,
huh, that's me...no matter how bad I feel, I can still eat!
Hope you are better soon. I sure do miss everyone already. We MUST do another cruise together - it was too much fun!
I had my very first ever, flu shot yesterday. No problems. I am on the local committee that prepares for disasters (including a pandemics-bird flu) and I am sold on the need to get your flu shot - scary stuff! Well, I am off. More later

Hey Mandy! I am doing well other than which seems never ending. I am glad you had a good time with your Bahama Mamas You are the one who really deserved them. I was just so sad I didn't get a really good tasting one while aboard the ship. Not so sure what happend at Trition's other than maybe they sent all the rum your way

I would love to re-book another cruise just for the taste of a good one. I will let you know. I would of loved to get to talk to you some more. You seemed to be a lot of fun to get to know. I feel sorry you had to remember all of the American terms in your head. It is funny, now I understand why they serve fries with the fish and chip dinner here I use to be a waitress and for the life of me couldn't get that one I am definately the airheaded lunatic for sure!!

Paula, I'll pass it along to Chad. He's games run thru February too. Don't try to do VaBeach & Salisbury in one day I'm now dropping him off to the high school for JV soccer. I teared up alittle when he was walking thru the side door to the cafeteria for practice yesterday Glad Greg gets to see his dad, especially since he didn't get to see him at Christmas!

Awe, you are going to make me tear up thinking about it!! They are all growing up so quick! It is so great that he is involved with soccer on JV before he starts HS because the kids in HS will already know who he is. You should be so proud of him!! I surely am! You tell him I said "Go Chad" !! Tell Carolin I love her! She is such a graceful young lady!! Give Jimmy a hug! Don't foget to pass a big hello to C for me.

I am on the local committee that prepares for disasters (including a pandemics-bird flu) and I am sold on the need to get your flu shot - scary stuff!

I'll have to rethink that flu shot Mary Sounds like you've come across some jolting facts

 

[disallday!]

Paula... I'll have to tell you the comment Chad made about you and mom being the only one's who care about him this morning! I'll pass on the love to all here. Same with you guys!!! Give the little ones a kiss for me and tell Greg "hello"

I love this pic of Jacob!!​

Mandy... Robin passed on the email and I got it. Very weird! I know you tried, sorry it didn't take on my end! Just wanted to let you know! And you guys look very cute in the pics!
